Zheng Guozhu looked at Guo Zhiyuan dumbfounded, daring to love Guo Zhiyuan because he didn't think the matter was big enough! Zheng Guozhu was also in a complicated mood at this time, on the one hand, he also admired Guo Zhiyuan's character of not being afraid of the powerful, and he would naturally not be restrained when he followed such a boss who was not afraid of things, on the other hand, he was worried that Guo Zhiyuan would be retaliated against by the magnates in the capital if he acted like this, and finally he didn't say anything, and quickly began to check the accounts with his scribes.

At this time, Xu Jinglei had already counted the number of craftsmen and came back to Guo Zhiyuan to return to his life, there were 1,781 registered craftsmen in the entire Ordnance Bureau, but the actual number of people on duty was only 258, which means that most of them were paid by Zhang Naiwang!

After listening to Xu Jinglei's report, Guo Zhiyuan became even more determined to replace the entire management team of the Ordnance Bureau, thought about it and instructed Xu Jinglei: "Lord Xu, you and Lord Zheng discuss it, see that there are people who can be used among the low-level scribes of the Ministry of Industry Yamen, draw up a list for me, and you can write a recruitment notice to openly recruit errands, scribes and skilled craftsmen......"

Xu Jinglei knew that Guo Zhiyuan was preparing to change the blood of the Ordnance Bureau, on the one hand, he admired Guo Zhiyuan's courage, and on the other hand, he was worried that Guo Zhiyuan would leave people with a handle to attack him, so he hesitated and said: "My lord, the open recruitment seems to be a bit out of order!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, you have also seen the mess of the Ordnance Bureau, you can't rebuild your strength without a complete exchange of blood, you just have to do what I instruct!" If you have something, you have your own official to bear it! ……”

As he was talking, there was a noise outside, and Zheng Guozhu ran in in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, the British duke is here!" ……”

No wonder Zheng Guozhu is so flustered, this British Gong Zhang Weiying is not an ordinary person, there are many public lords and magnates in the capital, but there are not many who can always stand, even the prince has been abolished, this British Gong Zhang Weiying is one of the few who can always stand, in the original historical time and space, Wei Zhongxian is the world's power, but only the British Gong Zhang Weiying is in awe of three points, and before the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian wanted to block the news, and it was also this British Gong Zhang Weiying who went straight to the palace, and Emperor Chongzhen was able to ascend the throne smoothly, This shows its status!

Guo Zhiyuan had seen the British Duke Zhang Wei in order to ensure the smooth accession of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the throne, the white-haired old prince personally carried a sedan chair for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it can be seen that the old prince still has the state in his heart, so he was not very flustered when he heard that Zhang Wei ushered in it, and laughed and said: "The British Duke is here in person?" That official should go out to greet him! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan took Zheng Guozhu and Xu Jinglei out of the door, Zhang Naiwang was telling Zhang Weiying about Guo Zhiyuan's black state with a handful of snot and tears, Zhang Weiying actually knew what kind of virtue his nephew was, but I heard that Zhang Naiwang was tied to the doorpost of the Ordnance Bureau by Guo Zhiyuan and had to come, didn't this slap him in the face of the British duke? So when he saw Guo Zhiyuan's face, he was very ugly, and he pointed at him and said violently: "Guo Zhiyuan, if my unworthy nephew is wrong, you can send him to the criminal department to discuss the crime, why are you so humiliating him?!" Is it true that there is no one in my British mansion?! If you don't give the old man an explanation today, the old man will never spare you! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was unhurried and saluted Zhang Weiying: "The lower official has seen the British duke, the British duke is angry, the lower official has two things here, please look at the British duke, if the British duke still feels that the lower official has handled it wrongly, the lower official will immediately release the person and let the British duke deal with it!" ……”

Zhang Weiying was also a little surprised to see Guo Zhiyuan behaving like this, and said with a dark face: "This is what you said!" If you have anything to let the old man pass through, bring it quickly! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan took out the list of craftsmen, pointed to the roster and said: "There are 1,781 registered craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau, and I specially asked Lord Xu to go to the roll call, but there are only 258 craftsmen on the job. ……”

Zhang Weiying is also a person who has led soldiers, and knows that this situation of empty pay is everywhere, since Guo Zhiyuan is determined to investigate Zhang Naiwang, Zhang Naiwang is useless to quibble, so he glared at Zhang Naiwang fiercely, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to say it!" The old man took the responsibility of eating empty wages for him, and the old man would make up for how much money he should make, but no matter what, you shouldn't kidnap people, you are abusing lynching! You can't explain this to the old man! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan knew at a glance that Zhang Weiying was fighting the idea of avoiding the heavy and light, so he whispered a few words to Xu Jinglei on the side, Xu Jinglei quickly ran to the armor workshop and took a pair of chain mail, Guo Zhiyuan handed the chain mail to Zhang Weiying, and said coldly: "This is the armor made by the Ordnance Bureau, after the British Gong is a famous general, it should naturally be clear how much protection such armor can have on the front-line soldiers, and how many Ming soldiers have died because of such inferior armor!" Is the British Duke willing to bear this responsibility for your nephew?! ……”

Zhang Wei greeted the chain mail and looked at it, his face changed, he knew that the Ming Dynasty army was now lax, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, if Zhang Naiwang was just embezzling money, he could still find a way to save it, now that Guo Zhiyuan has such a big hat buttoned down, he can't protect it anymore, throw the chain mail to the ground, turn around and leave!

Zhang Naiwang was dumbfounded when he saw that Zhang Weiying left him alone, Guo Zhiyuan glanced at him and said coldly: "Zhang Naiwang, this official is not afraid to tell you, no one can save you today!" You'd better cooperate with this official and truthfully confess what you have done in the Ordnance Bureau over the years, and this official may be able to open up the net when he sees the face of the British public......

Zhang Naiwang had no backer and was completely wilted, so he had to agree to cooperate, Guo Zhiyuan arranged for Zheng Guozhu to record a confession to Zhang Naiwang. Drugs and firearms drawings were stolen and resold, and the warehouses of the Ordnance Bureau were almost emptied!

What shocked Zheng Guozhu even more was that according to Zhang Naiwang's confession, in addition to the internal personnel of the Ordnance Bureau, many powerful children in the capital were also involved in the reselling of materials from the Ordnance Bureau.

Zheng Guozhu hurriedly went to report to Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan also frowned after hearing this, he had already guessed that if he continued to investigate like this, he would pull out the radish and bring out the mud, but he didn't expect the result to be so amazing, so many powerful children were involved, this case would be difficult to handle, Guo Zhiyuan was not afraid of offending the British public, but if he offended the powerful people in the entire capital, then his resistance would be great!
